Friday & Saturday, March 26 & 27, 2010 - raising money for local cancer charities.

Check out the Marathon website and the awesome raffle prizes.  Tickets will be available at shows throughout the month of March.

The ComedyCity improv troupe has a new, permanent home at the Sports Corner in downtown De Pere.  The move, just three blocks away from our current location, will take place at the beginning of March, with our first shows in the new venue on Friday and Saturday, March 5th and 6th. Showtimes will continue to be at 7:30 and 9:30pm every Friday and Saturday.

“This is an exciting time for the troupe.  Moving to the Sports Corner will open up a host of new opportunities for us, and for our legions of fans,” commented ComedyCity owner Mike Eserkaln.  “We also want to clarify that this is the Sports Corner in downtown De Pere, not Coaches Corner off 41.  There’s been some confusion.  No offense to the Coaches Corner folks.”

The annual 28-Hour Marathon of Comedy will be held at the new venue on March 26 and 27.  The final production on the Venture Theatre schedule, APS: Aerial Port Squadron, will also take place at the Sports Corner.  That show runs Friday and Saturday nights at 8pm, from April 9th through May 1st.

Ticket prices will remain the same – ComedyCity shows will continue to be $10 for adults, and $8 for students, seniors and military personnel.  Venture Theatre shows are $12 for adults and $10 for students, seniors and military personnel.  All ComedyCity / Venture Theatre coupons and gift cards will be accepted for shows at our new home.

The address of the new venue is 500 Grant Street, De Pere, WI 54115 on the corner of 5th & Grant, next to the Nicolet Restaurant.  For reservation and show information, call 920-983-0966 or on the web at www.ComedyCityOnline.com and www.VentureTheatreOnline.com.

ComedyCity has been entertaining Northeast Wisconsin for over 20 years with their unique brand of family-friendly improvisational comedy.

Venture Theatre has been producing original, locally written scripted plays since 2005.

Located at the corner of 5th and Grant, The Sports Corner is a sports themed bar and grill that also hosts various meeting and banquet events.  The historic building that houses the Sports Corner opened in 1912 as the Hotel Roffers.

Fridays & Saturdays @ 8pm

Venture Theatre’s One-Act Theatre Festival returns for a fifth year to delight audiences once again with another eclectic anthology of comedy, drama and romance. This year will be a retrospective of some of the top scenes and short plays from the first four-plus seasons in the history of Venture Theatre. This “best of” show runs four weekends.

Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for students.  Click here to make reservations.

“Late Night Prime Time” is our long form improv show.  Rather than short bursts of improv comedy, this show features longer scenes and character development.  The show runs 30-45 minutes.

The “Late Night Movie Show” includes 20-30 minutes of short videos shot by the creative folks here at ComedyCity and starring us as well.  They’re hilarious!

Shows start about 11:15pm - after the late ComedyCity show wraps up.  Content is rated PG-13, but it’s late so the little kids shouldn’t be up anyway.

Here’s the upcoming Late Night Lineup:
January 16: Late Night Prime Time
January 23: Late Night Movie Show
January 30: Late Night Prime Time
February 6: Late Night Movie Show
February 13: Late Night Prime Time
February 20: Late Night Movie Show
February 27: Late Night Prime Time
